Below is a link
to the new
Greenwood Lake
Fire
Department
"Community
Alert System".
The purpose of
this system is
as a public
service public
address system.
This is
non-firematic.
It costs you
nothing, other
than the text
message charge
you incur from
your cell phone
company.
|
The info
you
receive
if you
choose
“Priority
1” will
include
major
alerts
such as: |
|
 |
Local
Terrorist
Attacks
(Domestic
or
Foreign)
Major
Weather
Alerts
(as
issued
by the
NWS for
Orange
County)
Major or
Long
Term
Road
Closings
Flood
Warnings
School
Closings
(Only
early
closings.
There
will be
a link
on our
home
page for
normal
all-day
School
Closings
and
Weather) |
|
“Priority
2”
alerts
will
include
all of
the
above
and such
things
as: |
|
 |
Fire
Safety
Reminders
(changing
Smoke/CO
Detector
Batteries,
Chimney
Cleaning,
etc.)
Public
Events
(Pancake
Breakfasts,
Heritage
Days,
Fireworks,
etc.)
Any
other
public
activity
deemed
appropriate
to send
via this
system. |
As stated
previously,
these are not
necessarily
related to the
Greenwood Lake
Fire
Department, but
they will be
controlled by
our members. We
suggest you sign
up any member of
your family that
drives, for at
least the
Priority 1.
Please alert any
family member or
friend that
resides within
the Fire
District Limits or travels
through our
district
on a regular
basis.
The Chief’s will
have the ability
to transmit road
closures from
our cell phones
on scene.
We want to make
it perfectly
clear that there
will NOT be an
abuse of this
system. You will
only get text
messages of
significant
importance. If
traffic is
moving slowly or
stopped briefly, you
will not get a
message. We will
use a timeframe
of 30 minutes as
a guide, if the
highway will be
completely shut
in excess of 30
minutes you will
get a text
message to that
fact.
